  • I found a last minute plane ticket! Part one is all about settling in, leaving Reykjavík, and exploring northern Iceland.
    I went from my barefoot desert adventures to snow, ice, and a lot of wind... quite the shift!

    I love this journey so much! Hang on tight to your Mama Linnea and cherish every second you have with her. I lost my Mom at the age of nineteen and I was so not ready for that.I am now 65 so this video just warmed my heart !The laughter is glorious! I do miss Akela..:(

      This! Made me think I should have traveled more with my mom. I'm the last of her 7 kids and did only one trip with her alone when I was 10 years old. Lost her in 2016 to cancer, sadly. 😥

      i'm also 65 years young and this video really warms my heart. i didn't have my mom until i was 25 but we really made up for lost time after that. i'm glad linnea has such a good relationship with her mom.

      Same here. Watching this (especially now out of those teenage years), there's so many experiences that I wish we could have had together. That being said, I loved watching this, and Iceland is definitely on my list either this year or next year!

      Likewise Hollie - absolutely... For me, it's I who miss my wonderful daughter whom I have travelled with SO many times and, the memories of these holidays and our time together, are the most wonderful I have... All the laughs we had, the places we slept - places we sometimes found when it was late evening and so dark we couldn't see anything... just to wake up the following morning, discovering a wonderful beach next to where we were... and, thousands of other wonderful places and shared experiences...card games, maps we studied, people we met... etc. etc
      Experiences like these, are so important to store in our memory... These wonderful times together between mother and daughter can never be replaced by anything else...
      Thanks so much for sharing... Take good care of each other.. ❤️

    She's been gone almost 3yrs now, this blog made me wish SO badly for just one more trip with her.
    You NEVER get over it, you just learn to live with it.

I lost my mother a few years ago and wish we would have made a trip like this to enjoy and laugh together. Even with the tight fit it would have been an amazing adventure. Soak up every moment. We do not remember days we remember moments and this will be an amazing moment to cherish!
